1 This is a log of changes that the ncurses C++ binding has gone
2 through starting with the integration of menu and forms integration
5 970908 + Improve NCursesWindow class: added additional methods to
6 cover more ncurses functionality. Make refresh() and
7 noutrefresh() virtual members to allow different implementation
8 in the NCursesPanel class.
9 + CAUTION: changed order of parameters in vline() and hline() of
11 + Make refresh() in NCursesPanel non-static, it is now a
12 reimplementation of refresh() in the base class. Added
13 noutrefresh() to NCursesPanel.
14 + Added NCursesForm and related classes to support libform
16 + Moved most of configuration related stuff from cursesw.h to
18 + Added NCursesApplication class to support easy configuration
19 of menu and forms related attributes as well as ripped of
20 title lines and Soft-Label-Keys for an application.
21 + Support of Auto-Cleanup for a menus fieldlist.
22 + Change of return type for current_item() and operator[] for
26 + Introduced the THROW and THROWS functions/macros to prepare
27 a smoother transition to real exception handling.
28 + Exception classes provided in etip.h
29 + Added the NCursesMenu class to support libmenu functionality.
30 + The inheritace relation between NCursesWindow and NCursesColorWindow
31 was kind of brain damage. Monochrome is a special case of colored, so
32 the relation should be just the opposite. This would allow all
33 derived classes like NCursesPanel, NCursesMenu or NCursesForm to
35 To resolve that design flaw I put the color functionality into the
36 NCursesWindow class and it can be switched on by the static member
37 useColors(). NCursesColorWindow is still there for compatibility
